Right, just like as of now as high as you can go in ram, or as apple calls it
memory is 16GB, and that is across the board. The thunder bolt ports not a
huge deal breaker to me, since I found a uSB-C hub I like, but it does perform
nice, doesn’t even get warm, if there wasn’t a slight breeze coming from it, or
VoiceOver didn’t talk, I wouldn’t know it was on. Love it though, no busy
messages anymore. I had that 2018 Mac mini, but sold it to get this one. If
they ever put faceID on a MacBook Pro, that would be next on my tech toy list.

Interesting, I know the new Mac Mini M1 has a base as the earlier machines
did but I didn't know that the base was not removable.
I'll check this though an 8GB Mac Mini M1 should suit me down to the ground,
I had planned to upgrade to 64GB of RAM over time.
There are other things about the M1 machine I didn't know till a few hours
ago having read a review on the machine.
The 2 number of Thunderbolt ports is down from 4 found on the previous Intel
model to 2, that might be a problem for some people.
Also the Thunderbolt Ports for want of a better description on the New Mac
Mini are USB 4 ports and this alone makes for some interesting challenges so
I'll dig up the review I was reading and forward it to the list.
The previous model of Intel Mac Mini released in 2018 could support 10GBPS
Internet whereas - rather surprisingly in my view - the new M1 Mac Mini does
not.

You cannot expand the ram, not even on the Mac mini. This was stated in the
keynote back in October i think.

Hi.
I should have the machine early next week and to say I can’t wait would be
an understatement <smile>.
Did any list member get a M1 machine and if so what do they think? Anything
In particularl I should be made aware of? I know I can’t use my Acapela
voices any longer, a slight irritation yes but I’ll manage all the same.
I’ve ordered a machine with 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD drive, easy enough to
expand the RAM if need be and to add a Thunderbolt 3 SSD drive to the system
should I need extra storage.
